ANSWER


Answered on 27/09/2005


A current NT Police Road Safety enforcement performance measure relates to policing activity, and this includes the number of vehicles checked by both Static and Mobile Speed Detection Devices.

The issue of Speed Camera checks is dependent upon the traffic flow of the testing location. These locations are determined by traffic ‘Hot Spots’ associated with road crash statistics, and therefore are less relevant in terms of volume, and more so with respect to percentage of offending drivers per total numbers checked.
